The characteristics of the polar rain are studied statistically using data from the SSJ/3 sensor of the F2 satellite of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program. The purpose of the study is to determine the average spectral characteristics of the polar rain and the relationship between the intensity and distribution of the polar rain, the characteristics of the solar wind, and the orientation and magnitude of the IMF. In 70 percent of the spectra examined, the polar rain is well fit by a single Maxwellian distribution; in the remaining 30 percent, the high-energy component can be unambiguously fit to a Maxwellian distribution. It is also found that the intensity of the polar rain at high latitudes is strongly dependent on both the orientation and the magnitude of the IMF Bx and By components.
